Chapter 100: The Imperial Daughter Leaves the Palace
The ninth daughter of the Chengde Emperor, Princess Qinghe, finally turned sixteen.
The Son of Heaven has always doted on this daughter, so he took the time to attend her ceremony, but His Majesty the Emperor had a lot of affairs, and after only showing one, he went back to the council of Changle Palace.
According to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, after the marriage, it means that the princess has reached the age of marriage, and the royal family can find a suitable son-in-law for her.
On the same day, Princess Qinghe's biological mother, Concubine Shuniang, personally gave the ninth princess a salute, that is, tied up her hair with a hairpin.
This lady has tears in her eyes.
"Your father is really unfair, he keeps saying that he loves you, but your princess's mansion is in such a remote Datongfang, it is inconvenient to go back to the palace, even if there are no people living in Yongle Fang, living in Mingdefang Willow Fang, how can there be a reason for the princess to live in Datongfang?"
Datongfang is in the south of the capital, it is one of the few squares far away from the imperial city, Princess Qinghe is the first princess to live in Datongfang, no wonder the biological mother of the ninth princess is not happy.
Ji Lingxiu didn't know how to answer her mother's words, so she winked at Ji Wen, the seventh prince who was accompanying her.
These two brothers and sisters are born from one mother, and Concubine Shuniang is also the biological mother of the seventh prince Ji Wen.
Today is his sister's ceremony, and Ji Wen, as a brother, naturally has to be there.
His Royal Highness the King of Wei shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Mother concubine, don't worry, the princess's mansion in Datongfang was personally supervised by her son, and compared to other royal sisters and sisters, it is more than three or four times bigger, and she can't be wronged by Xiao Jiu." ”
The Seven Princes are not wrong, although Datongfang is a little remote, but the corresponding house is not very valuable, and the budget allocated by the household department and the Zongren Mansion is much larger than that of other princesses' mansions.
In addition, Ji Wen, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, used the most expensive materials when building the princess's mansion, and in terms of quality, the Qinghe princess's mansion can even be said to be the best princess's mansion in the capital.
Concubine Shuniang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said in a choked voice: "What's the use of a big place, it's so far away from the imperial city, your brother is gone, you are also gone, and there is no one in the palace to talk to me." ”
The ninth princess blinked her eyes and said coquettishly: "A-Niang, this is nothing, my daughter will still go back to the palace to see you if she misses you." ”
According to the rules, after the prince and the princess leave the palace, it is not so easy to return to the palace, not only need to report in advance, but also need time to allow, such as the fifteenth day of the new year, less than a specific time, the prince and the princess are not allowed to enter the palace without a call.
His Royal Highness King Wei also persuaded on the side: "Mother concubine rest assured, the child will take good care of Xiao Jiu outside, besides, she is also old, the rules of the clan are here, you can't let her stay in the palace all the time, right?" ”
Concubine Shu wiped her tears and sighed softly: "Also, she has also reached the age of marriage, did your father say when to choose a horse for her?" ”
The Seventh Prince bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Mother, Xiao Jiu is still young, and there is no hurry about the horse, and it is not too late to marry her in two years." ”
"Why aren't you in a hurry?"
Concubine Niangniang's voice was a little louder: "She is sixteen years old, and when she was sixteen years old, she married into the palace......"
After tossing in the palace of the lady concubine for a long time, the ninth princess finally walked out of the palace, before leaving the palace, she also went to Changle Palace to kowtow to the son of Chengde, and the son of Chengde was very happy, and gave a piece of jade pendant to this daughter.
In the TV series of later generations, any belongings of the Son of Heaven can be used as Shang Fang's sword, and even used as a holy decree, which is a very unreasonable thing, if the Son of Heaven does not speak, this jade pendant is just a more valuable object.
In fact, even if the Son of Heaven wants to issue a holy decree, he must go through the process of the three provinces, otherwise the holy decree will have no legal effect.
It's just that generally speaking, no official of the three provinces will face the emperor and reject the holy decree.
In this way, in the afternoon, the ninth princess walked out of the palace, and the great eunuch Chen Ju personally sent her to the gate of the palace, and when she walked to the gate of Yong'an Gate, Chen Ju stopped, bowed his head to Ji Lingxiu and said: "The ninth princess is out of the palace, you must remember to come back often to visit Your Majesty, Your Majesty likes you very much." ”
Ji Lingxiu blinked his eyes and smiled at the great eunuch: "Don't worry, Lingxiu will often go back to the palace to visit his father, his father is busy with political affairs, and the eldest princess takes care of more on weekdays." ”
Chen Ju showed a smile on his face: "Your Highness, don't worry, the old slave knows." ”
"There are still some things in the palace, the old slave will be sent here, and His Highness remembers to return to the palace often."
"Got it."
In this way, the ninth princess Ji Lingxiu sat in a sedan chair and walked out of Yong'an Gate.
After coming out, she looked back at the imperial city where she had lived since she was a child, and she also had a strange feeling in her heart.
If she marries in the capital, she will have the opportunity to go back to the palace often in the future, and if she is married to other places like other imperial sisters, it is very likely that she will not be able to come back for the rest of her life.
The Seventh Prince Ji Wen rode on a big horse, looked at his sister who poked her head out of the sedan chair, and smiled: "What, I can't bear to be in the palace?" ”
The ninth princess turned her head to look at her brother and snorted lightly: "It's not, it's just that I am a little reluctant to be a concubine." ”
The prince and the princess sound very precious, but before adulthood, they often do not live particularly well in the palace, because there are many rules in the palace, and from a very young age, they have to study scriptures and articles with those poor elders every day.
To put it bluntly, it's a bigger cage.
After leaving the palace and opening the mansion, you will be able to be freer.
Ji Wen smiled slightly: "Even if you have some conscience, you haven't forgotten your mother." ”
Ji Lingxiu waved his hand at his brother, motioning for the Seventh Prince to come closer.
Ji Wen drove the horse closer to the sedan chair, the ninth princess's face was a little red, she poked her head out, and whispered in the ear of the seventh prince: "Seventh brother, what do you mean when you say that my father asked Li Xin to be the chief of the guard?" ”
His Royal Highness King Wei blinked, smiling rather than smiling: "I'm not my father, how do I know?" ”
The ninth princess was laughed at by him like this, the blush on her face became heavier, she snorted lowly, and retracted her head into the sedan chair.
A girl's pregnancy is a natural thing.
Li Nobunaga is not ugly, plus he has the bearing of a mature man, and the most important thing is that the things he makes are particularly delicious!
For various reasons, Ji Lingxiu already has a very good impression of Li Xin.
The ninth princess sat in a pale yellow sedan chair and slowly walked towards Datongfang.
Before she knew it, she was already looking forward to the days ahead.
